It'd have to be one of those old-fashioned books with the alphabetical indentions on the side of the pages for me.

bill o'reilly is not people, you know

I had such a fontasy (stevie), Friday, 4 January 2013 17:51 (eleven years ago) link

I think talking about a racial demographic and how they do/are something or not because it's "their nature" is racist by definition. Perhaps O'Reilly was talking about Asian cultures in general, but that's still not some homogeneous thing you can call conservative or liberal and also, I'm pretty sure he was just being racist.

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Sunday, 6 January 2013 18:49 (eleven years ago) link

yes, racist. p.s. fuck that guy

Nhex, Sunday, 6 January 2013 19:45 (eleven years ago) link

Don't get why Jon Stewart plays nice with that guy, and other atrocious people like Huckabee.

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Sunday, 6 January 2013 19:51 (eleven years ago) link

b/c he's on television and his livelihood depends on those people and people like them being willing to come on his show

as he hastens to point out literally every time some interviewer tries to get him to admit he plays a serious role in the political-media landscape, he's an entertainer

autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Sunday, 6 January 2013 20:45 (eleven years ago) link

I like Stewart as much as the next guy but I don't expect him to viciously upbraid his guests about their spittle-flecked racism or w/e while they're trying to push their book

I mean he's no Neil de Grasse Tyson.

viceroy what if you replaced "their nature" with "their culture" because in fairness to bill i think maybe that's what he means?

not sure if that's still racist or not.

the late great, Sunday, 6 January 2013 20:56 (eleven years ago) link

no, it's still racist. asians (or any race, immigrant or not, for that matter) are not a monolithic, "good", hard-working people. it may seem odd to complain about a "positive" stereotype, but the whole deal is just another way for conservatives to put down minorities who don't fit these square peg definitions. i've heard it a million times. note how this shit goes hand in hand with lazy blacks/hispanics, sneaky Chinamen, etc (i.e. "why can't they just be one of the good ones" - the kind that don't make trouble)

this case is particularly blatant, he's not even trying to hide his confusing of how the "good Asians" are voting liberal, how perplexing

Nhex, Sunday, 6 January 2013 21:11 (eleven years ago) link

bill o'reilly knows zero about hawaii and what he says about "asian" nature/culture/whatever in that clip has nothing in it beyond the "they built the railroads and study hard at math" level so

difficult listening hour, Sunday, 6 January 2013 21:12 (eleven years ago) link

The Asian culture
